How TO MAKE Coon CoFFEE.-If the
berry is of good quality and be we'll parched,
or roasted, there is no difficulty in making
good coffee. The tin vessel in which it is
made should be thoroughly cleaned and
summed, or dried on the stove, every time it
has been used. The finer the coffee is
ground the more it's properties are impaired
to boiling water. Never use old grounds.
Allow tablespoonful to the pot, and an adj
ditional one for each person. Cover the
ground coffee with boiling water and let the
coffee stand in warm place for some fifteen
minutes, then gradually raise the tempera-
ture to the boiling point. 1t should not boil
longer than two minutes, for boiling, if con-
tinued, will cause & loss of the aroma, and
increase the bitterness. Add half cup oil
cold water to settle the coffee, or better, add
the white of an egg, or an egg shell.

DIR. J. BRADFIELD: Dear Sir-Some fifteen

to ITS components, and then, as we'll as now, pro-
nounce it to be the most scientific and skillful
combination of the really reliable remedial veg

and parts sympathizing directly with these and,
therefore, providing specific remedy for all dis
eases ofthe womb and ofthe adjacent organs and

THE CARE OF BARNYARDs.-Aba barn yard

should be stacked in the centre, and the
droppings in the other part of the yard
should be thrown on this stack at least once
day. The manure stack should be kept
lowest in the central part, and if the drain.

this, all the better. This mass can be load.
ed more easily into wagons, and will be
found of greater bulk and more strength
than if allowed to scatter over the yard, ex-
posed to sun and rains. Just at this time,
when the ground is settling so that manure
can be moved to the fields, fortunate is the
provident farmer who has turned his man.
ure pile twice, and now has it fine and re-
duced in bulk. It is in condition to be at
once appropriated as plant food, and can be
taken to the field with half the labor re-
quired had it not been worked over. 1t can
be spread evenly on the wheat or meadow
lands, while the crude manure is thrown of
in chunks or forkfuls, to smother plants and
be nuisance on the meadow or wheat field.
There is class of farmers who have ma
mia for making manure. Making manure
for the sake of the manure is little like
paying dollar or two per cord for it and
hauling it several miles to the farm.-Be''

How OFTEN TO GROW CLovER.-Clover
cannot be grown forever. 1t is an exhaust,
i've crop, taking from the soil in a crop OF
two tons to the acre $50 pounds of nitrogen,
II pounds of phosphoric acid, and u pounds
of potash, with large quantity OF lime.
1t is Supposed, and is commonly taught,
that the clover is not hard upon the soil, and
gets its nutriment from some obscure source,
or, in point of fact, from anywhere but the
soil. This, however, is great mistake, as
the above figures show, and as farmers who
try to grow clover often find to their sorrow
and disappointment. For the land is 'clo-
yer sick" as it is termed, just as it becomes
wheat sick, or corn sick, or potato sick, that
is, it is too, weak and exhausted to mature
a crop. Thecloverstarts we'll and thesmall
plants look promising, but in two weeks
one is astonished to find the clover has dis
appeared. 1t has died of starv alton and for
want of food. The only safe way is to get
4 good crop of clover and plow in good
stubble, then lime the land and grow two
or three other crops before returning to
clover. Forty bushels of lime per acre will
he of great help in growing clover.-Ne'c

THE EXTENT OF TREE RooTs.-Asa gen.
eral rule trees will spoil for cultivation as
much land as their tops cover, and will in
jure considerably more. Much depends up
on the kind of land and the kind of tree.
On sandy or gravelly land chestnuts thrive,
sending their roots far down, but so few
near the surface that the plow can often run
almost against them. The elm, on the con-
trary, growing on low, wet land, runs its
roots long distance near the surface, and
effectually spoils much more land than it
covers. 1t completely fills the soil around
it, down at least to the line of stagnant wa
ter, and is especially apt to fill and destroy
drains made near it, whether made of stone
or tile, to the depth of three feet or more be-
low the surface. Elm roots have an uncon-
er it may be.

FEED YOUR Cows WELL.-CoWs giving
milk should not be allowed to fall off in
quantity from insufficient feed. 1t is more
difficult to increase the flow of milk after
shrinkage from the lack of full feed than to
keep up high activity of the secretion at
particular time of the year. Ifshrinkage
is establish ed, as it will be by repetition, it
is always easy to prevent it entirely by lib
eral feeding. The habit will also be trans
mitted to the offspring as a family charac-
teristic, that will diminish the value of the
animal as a producer of milk. Give the
cows extra feed as soon as the pasture begins
to get short.

DOES MANURE SINK INTO THE SoIL?-
There are very few farmers, says Good
Farming, but that are willing to concede the
point that the valuable portions of manure
are continually tending downwards into the
soil. This is especially true in the case of
sandy or gravelly soils. DR.. J. B. Lawes
says that this is true of nitrates, but other
manures, phosphates and potash unite with
the soil near the surface, and either remain
there, or, at all events, descend very slowly.
He gives us an instance of the extreme
slowness of the descent of manure, an ap-
plication of fourteen tons per acre annually
for forty years to permanent wheat land,
and that is nearly all found in the first nine
inches below the surface. There may be
soils where this condition of the same would
produce such results, but it will require fur
ther evidence to convince farmers that even
considerable portion of their manure re-
mains near. the surface. They believe it
has way of escape that is unaccountable.

AN IMPRovER OF LAND.-It cannot be
expected that clover will restore, unassisted,
an absolutely exhausted soil. Land must
be in condition to bring fair crops of grain
before clover can be ,soWed upon~it to adj
vantage. Afterward, in a judicious rota-
ton, it will improve the soil rapidly. It
does this in two ways, by the decay of its
large taproot and by its absorbing ammonia
rapidly from the atmosphere. The cheap
est manure that we can use after land has
been put in proper condition is clover seed.
At the north clover is a biennial; at the
south it lasts for several years. After clover
has fairly gone 20 seed at the south, if a
short rotation is adopted, it will not be ne
cessary to sow it again. For instance, in
the following rotations: First, cotton or
corn; second, oats; third, wheat; the clover
will spring spontaneously among the ewheat.
The ground should remain two years in
clover, and the rotation then be repeated.
Land thus treated will improve without
further expenditure of manures.-Somhe'm

A COMPLETE FERTILIZER.--A ''com-
plete" fertilizer is so called because it fur
nishes more or less of the three essential
plant foods, viz: nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash. A ''complete" fertilizer is not
necessarily valuable one. Itmay be worth
s. or $50 per ton, it's value depending mere.
ly upon the Quantity of those three foods it
contains in an available form. Bone and
unbleached wood ashes form a complete"
fertilizer, though deficient in nitrogen.
South Carolina rock, with kainit and hair or
ground leather would form complete"
fertilizer of the lowest grade, and would
chiefly be valuable for the potash in the
kainit. High grade sulphate and muriate
of potash, pure bone flour or dissolved bone
black, and nitrate of soda, sulphate of am
monia and dried blood would form most
valuable complete" fertilizer. What we
wish to show is that h. fertilizer may be
complete if it cost but IS per ton just the
same as if it cost $50, and that this word in
its technical sense means only that the fer
ttlizer contains the three leading plant foods.

PUBLIC PRINTER BENEDICT.-The Sen
ate committee on printing has commenced
the study of certain problems involved in
the nomination of Mr.. Benedict to be the
Public Printer, and Mr.. Benedict was him
self before the committee for examination.
No conclusion was reached and another
meeting is to be held during the week. 1t
is understood that there are no formulated
charges against the nominee, but there are
people who claim that he is not a practical
printer or book-binder and in these respects
does not meet the requirements of the law
governing the appointment to this office.
The committee finds itself called upon
not only to investigate and determine the
questions of fact, but to interpret the law.
1t is argued on the one hand that to be a
practical printer and book binder one must
have served an apprenticeship at type-set-
ting and have worked with his own hands
at book-binding. On the other hand, it is
urged that the manager of an immense es-
tablishment like the Government Printing
Office may be all the more efficient for not
having passed his life in wrestling with
the minutie or the mere mechanical feat
ures of the work on hand. The committee
will give Mr.. Benedict ample opportunity
to reply to anything which may be said
about him.

TEMPERANCE IN THE HoME.-It is from
eight to sixteen that boys begin to break
away from parental control and the restraint
of the fireside. 1t is then that they seem
to feel that they know more than they who
bore them; it is then that they begin to as
sert the liberty of the street and taste its
delusions, its vices and its crimes. Said an
English jurist of great distinction: "a
large majority of all the criminals who
are brought before me have been made
what they are by being allowed to be away
from home evenings between the ages of
eight and sixteen" What testimony is
this, dear mothers and sisters! Surely one
of the most practical studies in this tenn
perance work is how to keep the young
away from temptation, and pleasantly and
profitably occupy the evenings. Guard
your own doors. There is one sort of drink
ing-house that no State enactments can
touch, and that is private house with a
decanter in the cupboard. Good friends,
guard your own doors with tetotalism.
A foolish rich man who died lately disin-
herited his drunken son. In that same
will he bequeathed his 'wine cellar" to GER
tain heirs. The father most insanely tempt
ed his own son to drink, and then on his

disgrace. The most effectual of all home
protection is to guard our own home. From
such Temperance homes will come the pow
er to close up the public drinking dens.-

some VALUABLE WOODS.

Where Tulip, Satin, Sandal, Ebony and
White Holly Are Found. 4
The tulip tree is native of America,
and is found from Canada to Florida.
It is especially abundant in the West
ern States. The wood is greatly valued
for the ease with which 1t can be
worked. Satin wood is the name ap-
piled to several woods of commerce
which acquire a peculiar luster when
polished; the principal of these are
brought from India and the Bahamas
and West Indies. The Indian satin
wood is from a tree of the m4iacee
family. which grows to a heightof fifty
or sixty feet, and is found along the
Coromandel coast and ether parts of
India the wood is hard and yellow.
The Bahaman wood comes from tree
of another species; it is lighter colored
than the Indian wood. Rosewood is a
name applied in commerce to several
costly kinds of ornamental wood,
which come from different countries
and from very different trees. The
best known rosewOOds are from Brazil
and other parts .ef South America.
african and Burmese rosewoods are
Ithought to come from a different
species of the same family as South
American trees. Other kinds are
brought from different places and are
obtained from very different trees.
One kind is found on the Canary
Islands only, another on the island of
Jamaica, and others:at different places.
Sandal wood is the name of the arc
matte wood of several species of santa
lum, mainly found i'm the East Indies,
and on the mainland of India, Though
certain kinds are also obtained in the
forests of the Hawaiian Islands, the
Feejee Islands, and in Australia.
Black ebony woods found principally
in Ceylon, Madagascar and Mauritius,
where it grows spontaneously, and lis
cultivated to q certain extent in other
localities of the East. The wood of all
species of the holly tree is remarkably
white when the tree is young, but as
sumes darker color with age. The
European holly is found especially in
Italy, Greece and the Danubian PROV
inces. 1t grows abundantly through
out Southern Europe, and it is also
cultivated in Great Britain. The Amer
lean holly is found along the Atlantic
coast, from Maine southwark, and is
especially abundant in Virginia and
the Carolinas. 1t does not seem to
flourish so we'll in the West CHICAGO

years old and reported to be sound and
hearty every morning. but hardly do
the shades of evening begin to fall
when she is attacked by nervous
twitchings. In that condition she is
troubled with a knack of mind-reading,
and if asked questions in tongues she
does not understand while the sun is
shedding his full light upon her she
will answer in the same tongues dur
ing the hours of darkness. Less re-
markable is the darkness in which her
medical attendants profess to be re-
garding the true inwardness of her
condition. She is also reported to shed
her hair periodically, as four-footers
will do in summer time, and to grow a
new perlwig as regularly. So the
medical men are dumfounded at the

The Color of Eyes.

Extensive researches into the hered-
ity of eye colors have led NJ. Alphonse
de Candolle to consider it certain that
women have larger proportion of
brown eyes than men; that where both
parents have eyes of the same color the
chances are lightweight to twelve that
the children who reach the age of ten
years (when the colors of eyes are
fixed) will have eyes of the same color:
and that where the parents have eyes
of different colors the chances are
torty-fiSe in favor of brown as against
blue or gray for the children. He
claims that brown eyes are more favor
able to health and longevity than the
blonde types.-ArkdnSGs TrayeLer.
